Broccoli and Cheese Chicken Pasta Recipe

what could i pair this recipe with?

I love pasta. If I could live anywhere in the world, it would probably be Italy, so I could eat homemade pasta day in and day out, for the rest of my life.

Not only that, but they have some amazing bread and sweets there as well.

Here are a few of my favorite side dishes to pair with this Broccoli and Cheese Chicken Pasta:

• Homemade Naan Bread 
• Easy Cheesy Garlic Bread
• Zesty Cheese Bread
• Homemade Whole Wheat Bread

We also love to serve our bread and pasta with salad. Here are a few of our favorite salad recipes:

• Tangy Cucumber Salad
• Pear and Blue Cheese Salad
• BLT Salad
• Broccoli Apple Salad

You could really pair it with any vegetable, but a nice fresh crisp salad with some Italian dressing has got to be my favorite combination with this pasta.

I also like to dip my bread in both the pasta sauce and the salad dressing. You can’t go wrong with salad, pasta, and bread.
